With /etc/resolv.conf edited per John's example (subject to the changes
I discussed in a posting just made), there's a long pause and then
"unknown host." With /etc/resolv.conf in its original form
(dhclient-script generated), there's a short pause and then "unknown host."
lserver1. With nsswitch set only to files or only to wins (/e.g./,
hosts: files), this is successful. With nsswitch set only to dns, I
cannot get name resolution, although I can successfully ping by IP
address. I can ping lserver1 by name or by IP successfully from
mustelidae.
Where is lserver1 pointing in terms of DNS? How do I tell? At this
John also mentions setting in resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1 (this is your loopback address)
nameserver 192.168.0.2 (this should be the ip of your router/firewall)
(you can have a maximum of 3 nameserver listed
I made that correction (it wasn't clear from John's example what that IP
address was for), but I still got "unknown host) when I tried to ping
lserver1 and lserver1.test.biz.
. Is /etc/resolv.conf part of this
answer?
YES!
My resolv.conf, nsswitch.conf, and smb.conf are attached. The nsswitch
is set to dns only, now for test. Normally it's set to files dns wins.
My named.conf and dhcpd.conf are built from John's example, as
mentioned above. /Etc/hosts has the IP address/name pairs he calls
for. I think that means I'm running a local name server.
No. The hosts file bypasses dns eg. Nsswitch is usually set to "files dns
wins"
Check files 1st then dns, then wins to find names on your lan
Files is your hosts files the rest should be self explanitory
That much I'd figured out: I meant the aggregate4 of all of those, since
that was the goal of John's set up, which included all of those.
As you can see, I have very little understanding of what's going on
here; I've rather slavishly followed John's example, and I'm clearly
making mistakes I'm not recognizing.
You need to learn about DNS elsewhere.
Go here, and read this:

Particularly this:

.html
Then apply it to your situation.
Going there tonight.
Thanks

The over view is this:
The way out of this mess from my point of veiw is to switch off dhcp from
the router/firewall.
How? I can't switch off the router/firewall.

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be
# sorted with the most-used services at the beginning.
#
# The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an
# entry should stop if the search in the previous entry turned
# up nothing. Note that if the search failed due to some other reason
# (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the
# next entry.
#
# Legal entries are:
#
# nisplus or nis+ Use NIS+ (NIS version 3)
# nis or yp Use NIS (NIS version 2), also called YP
# dns Use DNS (Domain Name Service)
# files Use the local files
# db Use the local database (.db) files
# compat Use NIS on compat mode
# hesiod Use Hesiod for user lookups
# [NOTFOUND=return] Stop searching if not found so far
#
# To use db, put the "db" in front of "files" for entries you want to be
# looked up first in the databases
#
# Example:
#passwd: db files nisplus nis
#shadow: db files nisplus nis
#group: db files nisplus nis
passwd: files
shadow: files
group: files
#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns
# hosts: files dns wins
hosts: dns
# Example - obey only what nisplus tells us...
